I have an app that I'm using a form helper for when someone changes values in the form. I have it working, but I'm now focused on a date field. What I'm noticing is that when you click the calendar option in the date field, it kicks off the form helper with gMode of 'blur'. Nothing has been selected yet. Then, when you click a date, the form helper is not kicked off until you click another field or tab out of the field. I would expect it to kick off when they leave the field with blur, but I'm surprised I'm getting a blur action just by selecting the calendar icon and getting the pop-up.
Is this expected behavior? I would think it would be better if the blur actions were sent when someone clicks a value in the calendar instead of before. It's not a huge deal, but IMO it's an unnecessary call to the back end. My program essentially has to run twice, once when they click the calendar icon and then again when they leave the field.
Has anyone else dealt with this? Is this something that can be changed?
Thank you.
